H1Z1’s official PS4 launch includes a ton of new features

H1Z1 is leaving open beta on PS4 and is launching as a free-to-play title on August 7.

Daybreak has announced the official launch of H1Z1 on PlayStation 4, and the game will be getting new weapons, a new vehicle, improved performance, and two new launch bundles. The Season 1 Battle Pass will also be unlocked.

The RPG and SOCOM Sniper Rifle will roll out alongside the ARV that can seat a five-man squad.

Players can choose from the Hardline Deluxe, or kung-fu inspired Viper Starter Bundles that will apparently allow for character customisation, and will presumably include bundle-specific weapons and skins.

Crossbows with explosive arrows will do less splash damage

Added Weapons
